The classical method involves customer to tell the person handling the ration shop outlet, the amount of the commodity he/she needs and the type too. The person working then measures the commodity and gives it to the customer Currently, ration card is very useful to every household for various purposes such as family member’s details, to get subsidized food items and non–food items, gas connection, and also address proof for various purposes. All people having a ration card to get different food grain items such as sugar, rice, wheat and non–food items like edible oils and kerosene from fair price shops. But our public distribution system having many drawbacks like all customer details stored in manually in the registers. This may cause to pilferage. Because of security issues, the ration cards are duplicated by the middlemen, so using computerized ration cards can reduce the misuse and frauds.
